Winning Strategies for Mental Health

The Decider Skills use Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to teach children, young people and adults the skills to recognise their own thoughts, feelings and behaviours, enabling them to monitor and manage their own emotions and mental health.

“I have had great feedback from my service users about the positive impact that The Decider Skills training have and continue to have on their life”

SO, Social Worker, States of Guernsey Mental Health

“There is a great appetite for this training. We have incorporated The Decider Skills into our whole service with excellent feedback. I think more and more people are realising that we need to up-skill people to manage their own health and lives, otherwise the situation for health care is hopeless.”

“As a learning tool it’s one that prisoners find credible and are comfortable using. The Decider Skills are a highly effective and essential set of core skills that could be of value to many prisoners.”

Dr David Briggs, Forensic Clinical Psychologist

“The Decider Skills are a very useful addition to the tools that we have. We use them with individuals as a stand-alone technique, and also alongside other interventions. The skills can be delivered by a range of clinicians.”

Dr James Murray, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, CAMHS

“The Decider Skills is our universal language throughout the school. It has been life changing for some of our families. For me, they're fundamental; I can only advocate how important they’ve been in our school and for me personally."

Tracey Moore, Head Teacher, Amherst Primary School

“This course has genuinely changed my life and I use the principles every single day. 2 decades of mental health issues and this course was the turning point for me. I was given the tools to identify why I acted and felt the way I did. I now plan to continually improve my skills and use them with my two young children. Thank you so much for developing this amazing and genuinely life saving set of skills."
